Projects & Tasks

XBuddy pairs a full project-management suite with a lightweight task tracker. Projects handles planning, budgets, risks, Gantt scheduling, and resource capacity across a portfolio; Tasks gives every team member a personal board, calendar, and my-tasks view for daily execution. Together they connect strategic delivery to individual work, with project time and billing flowing back to Finance.

Two surfaces, one system. Project Tasks (inside a project plan) and standalone Tasks share the same task engine — a task can belong to a project or stand alone, and both appear on the same board and calendar.

Key Features

  • Project planning with Gantt scheduling, milestones, and dependencies
  • Project Budget tracking against actuals with cost roll-up
  • Project Risks register with likelihood/impact scoring
  • Portfolio view across all active projects with health signals
  • Resource capacity and workload balancing across the team
  • Task Board (Kanban), My Tasks, All Tasks, and Calendar views
  • Reports and AI Hub on both the Projects and Tasks sides
Projects — Gantt timeline with milestones and dependencies
